[isurujosh]

Someones still gotta pay for the hedged fuel. You know it aint gonna be the MPs giving up their ... umm.. hard earned ... luxuries.

OT; Yesterday they issued permits for the new parliamentary MPs. They can get vehicles worth USD 50,000, but not fully duty free. PAL, RIDL & NBT included as duty. Funny thing is some MP's have been quoting 10mil + for a permit, do the calculations and it seems its not worth it as you can get a petrol for that price. I'm hoping some folks will get down some exotics for this

Yeah, We should tolerate this kind of open and "transparent" hoaxes, which was approved by the supreme policy making body of the country, with people's mandate (Virtual) because corruption is a global phenomenon, though it is supposed to be done in secrecy.

Oh Oh I am not supposed to comment on these. My apologies folks!

Only caveat is the market perception. But Mazda is a wonderfully reliable car. Unfortunately only Toyotas will gain value in secondhand market. 121 is a good example. We sold a 121 about four years ago for 2.8 mil. Recent market value was 3.5+.

I think people here can do a wonderful job to change the market perceptions. Perhaps a review section by experts and users? I know there is an automobile Mag, which does some work.

Its not a very rare car, so aqlmost any jap-car-importer should be able to get you one.... as for your price, i guess the best bet is to go around some car-sales and do a survey. You should be able to find plenty!

JAFF, got the number, thanks for that. Anyway, going to check black 121 x (YOM 2002, Reg: 2006, Second owner, 85,000km for 2.6 mill) in Colombo, If everything is ok (no mechanical problems and interior problems), do you think this is a good deal?

both the old price and the new one makes me laugh over the top if this is the way the 2nd hand market is reacting then i'd say no thank you, please don't quote the old price to me.

you mean 2nd hand market is quoting old and new price!!!!

[nadunr]

Under the new tax it should be around 1.4m if I am correct..

Would a person who bought a car (eg. Honda Civic) for 19.5 lks last year be willing to yield to the new car prices and sell for less than he bought for? Would you? No seller wants to lose out mate. I wanted to sell my D/Cab a month ago... but now I decided to keep her and not get on the bandwagon and sell at a loss for the sake of it.
